Publisher's Summary

When you gamble with desire, be prepared to risk everything.... Unlike the rest of the Hell's Eight brotherhood, Ace Parker's home isn't on the range. This restless cowboy craves the hustle of Simple, Texas, a lawless town where he can sate his darker appetites without guilt. At least he could until Petunia Wayfield arrived. The prickly new teacher is insisting that Ace help her rid the town of drunkenness and card playing. For that kind of miracle, Ace demands a reward the spinster schoolmarm will surely never give. But Petunia isn't backing down. Not when the intense passion Ace offers shatters her to the core. As soon as she can afford a ticket home back East, she'll leave Simple behind for good. Until then she'll match his sensual challenge with her own, daring him to give up his fiercely guarded self-control. And then real danger claims Petunia, forcing Ace to reveal the man he really is - even if it drives her away forever....

What happened

I have listened to the other books in this series and waited patiently for the next addition. I was highly disappointed. The others kept me interested and sometimes made me laugh out loud. This one was boring, humorless and the narrator was hard to listen to. Disappointed.

#7 of Hell’s Eight

Ace Parker meets his match in Petunia “Pet” Wayfield, schoolteacher. While traveling West, Petunia is stranded in town. She takes up the job of schoolteacher and tries to improve the town by righting injustices. It takes her some time to realize that Ace has been her “guardian angel” all along - watching out for her, helping her. It takes a lot for this strongly independent woman to trust Ace enough to give him her love, her all.Chappell is a decent narrator. Again, I say that having one consistent narrator for the series would have added to the experience.
